Knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation processes in the context of globalization: new challenges and development tendencies in the European Union

Abstract

The complexity of global transformations and the knowledge based society creation processes, as well as the processes of the European integration is analyzed in the article. Main attention is focus on the idea that the creation of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy is perceived as one of the most important priorities of the modern society and its lifestyle development, as well as of social, economic, political development, science and technological progress, especially – in the European Union. The creation of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy is assessed as the most important assumption and the main way to solve most of the social, economic, technological, even security and defense problems worldwide as well as in various countries or regions in general and in various countries or regions in the space of the European Union. The processes of the creation of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy expresses the essential qualitative changes in all the areas of social, economic, political life, science and technological progress, and interaction with nature. The processes of the creation of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy deeply influences the content of globalization processes and the effect on a situation in the modern world. It may be noted that the processes of the creation of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy, in general, could be perceived and assessed as an essential worldwide transformation, which determines a number of breakings and sallies, important to all the humankind. The processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy must be analyzed in complexity. In general, the processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy could be defined as the processes belonging to the category of global processes: it also means that the complex interaction between the processes of global changes and the processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy is a very important factor of the positive development in the societal life in the general context of globalization. There are different theories and theoretical models of knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation processes, as well as different theoretical models of these processes. Problem is that the knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation processes and the processes of global transformations are usually analyzed separately: the factor of the complex interaction between different processes of global transformations and the processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy is often ignored. It means, that a complex analysis of the processes of both types, as well as an evaluation of the factors of interaction between these processes could be defined as an perspective way to solve some actual theoretical and practical problems in the area of knowledge based society and knowledge economy, especially in the context of globalization. The complex analysis and the multidimensional evaluation of the processes of global transformations and of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation in the European Union as an perspective theoretical approach in research on societal changes in the context of globalization is defined and described in the article. The variety of global transformations is described, the main problems and processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy in the context of globalization are identified and studied. The processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy are defined as the processes belonging to the category of global transformation processes: it means that the complex interaction between the general processes of global transformations and the processes of the creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy is a very important factor of the positive changes in the societal life in the context of globalization and European integration. The main idea of the complex analysis and of the evaluation of the factors of interaction between the general processes of global transformations and the processes of knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation is that all these processes as a common global transformations are defined and analyzed, and the new challenges for creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy in the context of globalization are identified. Main phenomena and regularities of the global transformations are identified, their impact on real processes of knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation is characterized. Main principles of the knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation in the context of global transformations are formulated. Main idea of the complex analysis and of the evaluation of the factors of interaction between the different processes of global transformations and the processes of knowledge based society and knowledge economy creation is that all these processes as a general global transformations are defined and analyzed, and the new challenges for creation of knowledge based society and knowledge economy in the context of globalization are identified. This idea is described in details in the article.
